When therapists refer to themselves as "clinicians" and mention "caseloads" and "treatment protocols", it's a con. They sit and talk. That is the service. These associations with doctors distort the nature of the service and create the conditions for exorbitant and delusional fees.

I saw a PsyD with a degree from Harvard. He was no different from any of the others. He sat there and did very little. I did most of the work. His education was basically irrelevant. I might as well have talked to the neighborhood cat.
